Stihl RE 120 Pressure Washer

The STIHL RE 120 is a mid-range cleaning titan engineered for those who find standard domestic washers too flimsy for serious Irish driveway and patio restoration. While other brands prioritize plastic portables, the RE 120 is built around a low-wear brushless induction motor and a solid aluminum high-pressure pump, providing a consistent 125 bar operating pressure that won’t fade during long weekend sessions. It’s uniquely designed to solve the two biggest headaches of pressure washing: kinking and noise. Its 8-metre steel-reinforced hose is virtually indestructible and stays flexible in cold weather, while the induction technology allows you to deep-clean your property at a decibel level that won’t disturb the neighbors. From stripping moss off sandstone to a “touchless” car wash using the dosable detergent system, the RE 120 is the professional’s choice for a residential footprint.

• Steel-Meshed Armoured Hose: Unlike the “memory-prone” plastic hoses found on cheaper units, the RE 120 features a professional-grade steel-reinforced high-pressure hose. It resists kinking, handles higher internal surges, and lays flat on the ground the moment you unroll it.

• Sealed Induction Powerhouse: The brushless induction motor is significantly quieter and more durable than universal motors. It runs at a lower RPM, meaning less heat buildup and a lifespan that outlasts consumer-grade washers by years.

• 360° Anti-Drill Swivel Coupling: The trigger gun features a unique rotating connector that prevents the hose from tangling as you move around vehicles or corners. You always have access to the full 8-metre reach without fighting a coiled mess.

• Integrated Side-Access “Nozzle Garage”: A protected, fold-out side compartment stores your rotary and fan-jet nozzles, keeping them shielded from grit and debris when not in use—ensuring they never clog or get lost in the grass.

• Dual-Handle Transport Logic: Features a high-grade aluminum telescopic handle for easy wheeling and a second, integrated aluminum carry handle on the underside. This makes lifting the 20 kg unit into a car boot or onto a shelf ergonomically balanced.

• Dosable Detergent Spray Set: Most home washers use a simple “on/off” soap bottle. The RE 120 includes a high-capacity bottle with a precision dial, allowing you to control exactly how much foam you apply to sensitive paintwork vs. greasy garage floors.

• Rotatable Spray Lance with Soft-Grip: The lance can be rotated 360° independently of the gun, allowing you to adjust the fan spray angle for vertical surfaces or wheel arches without twisting your wrists into uncomfortable positions.
